May 3 Berkeley to Patterson Livermore, Calif. & returns.
set traps for ground squirrels. I heard one chirp
from a barren area beside the road. The Coral Hollow area
has short grass cover & many barren patches and looks
idea for ground squirrels. I checked with Mr. Bob
Connley of the Connley Ranch and he was
enthusiastic about trapping ground squirrels on his
property & suggested a location next to his barn & coral
area where he sees them often & plans to poison
in a month. A guard at the Lawrence Radiation
Lab Test Site gave me the name & phone number of
another land owner in the area, C.C. McCumber
of Livermore (phone Hilltop 72168) owns the property along
the road adjoining the test site. I did contact McCumber
however.
